Don't test me relentlessly, At every twist, let it not be.

I do not turn away from your voice, Yet, you scarcely hear my choice.

It seems it is my breath you wan't,
Still, I will not shy away from your decree.

Speak it just once,
I'll stand before you,
Rivers of vermilion cascading from my wrists,

For innocence in every test and trial, Let the verdict echo, in every mile.

........

Mainu enna na azmaya kar,
Har morr te na azmaya kar.

Teri gall nu main morr di ta ni,
Par tu ta meri sun da vi ni.

Lagda meri jaan le ki vi ni chain milna,
Khair, teri gall ni morr di main.

Tu ik vaari keh ta de,
Tere samne wang khol ke,
Sindoori rang da khoon behn dawangi.
